KP-102 at a dose of 0.1 nmol/l or more induced lower LVEDP and higher LVDP and gave higher +dP/dtmax and -dP/dtmax values during the reperfusion as compared with the control groups.
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Isolated Wistar rat hearts were mounted on a Langendorff apparatus and subjected to 30 min of ischemia followed by 40 min of reperfusion.
The rat hearts were treated with 0.1-10 nmol/l KP-102 beginning from 15 min before ischemia until the end of the experiment, with the exception of the ischemia period.
